Email: Week#76 in Paraguay

Hi,

Things are going crazy lately. Elder Turley is my new companion! 

So on Tuesday we found out that Elder Gutierrez and I were to stay another change. I was super happy, because he is so awesome. So after we ate a huge lunch, we found a less active, named Roberto. He told us that he now wants to go on a mission!! It was so awesome. He broke his leg and is in recovery and cant really work or anything. We also found some super cool investigators to teach.

But Friday was the reaaaally interesting day. We started off by eating cow stomache for lunch. It is a common thing here, but I hate it. So after that, we went to the doctors office, since Elder Guttierez has a lot of teeth pain. It turns out that he has to have 3 root canals. His teeth are super badly damaged. Well, so we arranged to get them extracted and everything. After, we got a call from Roque and also another member named Nancy Chavez. They wanted us to come visit them, so we saw and talked to them, they are both super cool.

But that night was what changed our lives. We got a call from Elder Smith who told us that we would have special changes! Elder Gutierrez was to leave the area! He is going to Palma Loma with Elder Simao. Now I am with ELDER TURLEY! It is crazy because he is in my group! So we packed up Guties things and headed off and we switched companions. We had some lunch and then we all cleaned the capilla together. It was a lot of fun, we rocked out to some jams!
So before changes we had a huge noche de hogar with the family Marin. It was kinda like a goodbye party, except we didn't know yet who was going to leave. We had a barbecue with lotta meat! I love when they do that here in paraguay.

We also had a super cool Sunday. We had an activity for the dia del niño. That is childrens day. It is celebrated for some children that were killed in a war. We had an activity there were there were a ton of games and candy for the kids.

So the missionaries in our branch now are: Elder Birge (Texas) and Elder Gomez (Brasil) and Elder Turley (California) and I. It is so awesome everyone there.

Well... love you guys! See you in 4 months from today!

Elder Crandall
